Motorola Explains Delay of Moto X (Gen 1) Android 5.0 Lollipop Update

Motorola has been one of the brands that has rolled out Android 5.0 Lollipop updates to most of its recent devices, including the Moto G (Gen 1), Moto G (Gen 2), and Moto X (Gen 2). The Android 5.0 Lollipop soak test for the budget Moto E is also already in process. However, there has been no word on an update for the 2013 flagship, the Moto X.

Earlier this week, Motorola's Support Twitter account, while replying to a user's query about the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, confirmed that the company is still working on the update for the handset.

The company has revealed that it is working on the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Moto X; though it has been struggling with hardware issue as the handset is backed by the dated dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. Unfortunately, we still don't have a date for the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the first-generation Moto X.

Last month, Motorola software engineer Luciano Carvalho confirmed that the first-generation Moto X would receive all major features of the Moto X (Gen 2) that are not dependent on hardware.

Carvalho however clarified that the first generation Moto X would not receive features such as Best Photo from Camera/Gallery and the Moto Actions features that are dependent on the IR sensors. He confirmed that the Moto X (Gen 1) would receive the new Moto Voice app.

Motorola India this week is celebrating its anniversary in the Indian market and is offering a number of benefits on purchase of Moto devices via exclusive online partner, Flipkart. The new offers are valid on the purchase of the Moto E, Moto G (Gen 2), Moto X (Gen 2), Google Nexus 6 and Moto 360 via Flipkart from February 9 to 15.
